Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.

Beschämend: Die Linke hatte auf diesem Parteitag die Chance, ihren Kurs zu revidieren und ein klares Signal gegen den innerparteilichen Antisemitismus zu setzen. Stattdessen entschließt sie sich unter Jubel, Israel Völkermord vorzuwerfen. Thomas Osten Sacken findet die richtigen Worte dafür:

Just last week the German government gutted the heating law which was supposed to drive a transition away from gas. The timing could not have been worse: Gas prices are up 50% today and this crisis could worsen significantly. This will happen again and again and the consumer pays the price.

It follows that Trump leaked the most market-moving economic numbers that exist. I have no idea how illegal this is, or if the law even matters any more. But I do know this: It's unprecedented. No White House has ever before leaked such important market-moving numbers. No serious country does this

A poster showing the Goddess of Victory in panoply of war, standing atop a mound of tattered, discarded flags of totalitarian states, including Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, and the Soviet Union. She is dressed in blue and holds a large flag of the European Union; on her shield is the compass rose emblem of NATO. Behind her, the sun rises over a view of land and sea. The sun is surrounded by fighter jets used by European countries; on the land one can discern shapes of armored vehicles. A text at the bottom reads “DEMOCRACY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.”
